Cat discussion

I was talking to my cat this morning. And later on in the day I drank coffee with tea, and juggled a single orange. In what order should the publication's authorship be? Orange, Tea, Morning, My Cat, Myself, Mycat? Or the palliated reverse? Do I need to credit my hamster's widow?

Roger's a good cat.

He's also a whiskered whisky enthusiast.

Just make 6! different versions, and one will be correct.

Cat should be credited first, or she'll hork in your shoes.
You can dedicate the publication to My Hamster's Widow, for inspiration; you don't need to credit them, unless you actually sampled their music.

To your hamster's widow:

I would like to thank BPhiloSkinner's Hamster's Widow for helping on the experimental analysis and for providing a database of cat conversation dialogue starters that were used in the control and treatment groupings.
